this all reminds me of the 4x4 days. since everyone is on the topic of gettin stuck i once go stuck in the middle of a pond that was about 50 ft from shore and stuck up to the doors in water. sucked water into the
carb 
. needless to say good thing i just built a bumper and was able to stand on it while i dried the pistons out. i got way lucky i didnt do more damage then i did.
